Anyone out there in #ActivityPub land that can point me to a real-world payload with the "streams" property?

@julian @js This wiki page contains some additional information: https://www.w3.org/wiki/ActivityPub/Primer/Streams

It says developers should use extension properties instead, and I agree with that.

@julian @js it's a generic array of Collection or OrderedCollection objects. For an implementation it could be an array where each item (itself a collection) is a photo album, or your stories, or your contacts list; anything, really. It is indeed very vague on purpose, which has its drawbacks.

I don't have an example of anyone using it in the wild but that should give you a good idea.

@js I think you're wrong: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#likes

I'm an old hand at this, you can not befuddle me.

@js I realize I didn't explain what FedBOX uses it for. Like @julian intuited I use it show any special collection the user has. Specifically FedBOX has some "storage" collections for activities, actors, objects. They are only present on the top level actor that you saw.

@mariusor you're right!

you pass the test

@silverpill @julian

thanks for the link!

I read that as developers should use extension properties _and_ include them in the streams collection

still looking for actual deployments of "streams" though - only have one so far

@santisbon @julian

thanks! I'm looking for implementations specifically - something to point software to, not an idea

Like example#6?

@Brahn I award no points! Looking for a real-world server that has actually implemented it.

So far found only one

@Brahn Also there is no example of the "streams" property in that doc. Negative points! : )

the property is actually named "streams": https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#streams
